Following the ongoing scandals surrounding his infidelity, Annie Kilner, the estranged wife of Manchester City defender Kyle Walker, has reportedly filed for divorce from the footballer a few years after the couple exchanged vows.
Kyle, 34, who married his childhood sweetheart Kilner, 33, in 2021, has been involved in a paternity scandal after he privately fathered two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman during ‘brief encounters’.
Annie had given her footballer partner another chance after his initial infidelity, but she found it increasingly difficult to maintain a facade of normalcy when he betrayed her trust once more by having an affair with Lauryn.
On December 27, when expecting her fourth kid with the defender, she received a terrible text that led her to believe Lauryn’s second child was her husband’s.
In the message, Lauryn notified me that Kyle is the biological father of our child.
Shortly after Goodman confirmed the paternity of Kinara, Annie and Kyle experienced a temporary separation.
Now, sources claim it is finally over for the couple who met while at school and Annie isn’t holding back as she’s gearing her lawyers to allegedly fight for half of Kyle’s whopping £27 million fortune.
It has been reported that Kyle and Annie are no longer communicating, and the vice-captain of the England national team has also sought legal counsel.
It’s believed that Kyle was served the papers by Annie ten days ago and has been sleeping separately from his wife for a number of days, despite being in the same home.
“Kyle was surprised upon receiving the documents,” a source informed The Sun. They continued, “He has engaged in discussions with Annie regarding the matter, and they are currently deliberating on the appropriate course of action. This does not definitively imply that they will pursue divorce proceedings. She intends to convey to Kyle the seriousness of the situation. However, if this is merely a strategic move, it could potentially have adverse consequences.”
A confidential source disclosed to MailOnline that the individual is seeking a divorce from Kyle due to an inability to forgive his actions. Despite attempts at reconciliation, the situation remains unresolved. Kyle appears to have come to terms with the end of the relationship and has demonstrated a noticeable improvement in his demeanor. Notwithstanding the personal turmoil, Walker was observed at a golf course in Cheshire on Tuesday, seemingly unburdened by his circumstances.
Kyle has previously admitted his regret at hurting Annie due to his extramarital affairs. He said: “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions.”
Speaking previously to the Mirror, a source said: “Annie and Kyle are looking forward to a resolution of the whole situation and hope that this latest chapter brings them just that.” It comes after Kyle was hurled in front of a Royal Courts of Justice about the two children he shares with Goodman.
Our source went on to add: “All they want is to work on their relationship, in private, to see what the future holds for them and their young family but have been unable to with the glare of the media – often led by Lauryn. Kyle has taken responsibility for what he called his ‘idiotic choices’ and will always provide for Lauryn’s children financially.”
